Get your guests in the mood to party as they enter your home with a red carpet aisle runner they can strut and pose on to feel like the star of the show. If you plan to set this up outdoors on your front yard or walkway, you can up the glamour ante by lining it with staked solar lights to add even more magic to the evening.
If you really want to go all out, order a customizable step-and-repeat that lets you get the perfect party backdrop so once guests reach the end of the carpet, you can snap a fancy picture of their party looks to create lasting memories of your special night. And don't forget the streamers and balloons for an even more festive mood!
Custom details can make the difference between a good party and a great party. Add special touches by writing your guests' names on star-shaped place cards or offer individual drink markers or charms to help them keep track of their cocktails.
Elevate your usual serving platters, plates and flatware by opting for opulent pieces in gold or other eye-catching patterns. Go for disposable if cleanup is your worst nightmare, or start building a special occasion collection with these pieces.
While you're watching your favorite musicians and actors take home the trophy this year, surprise guests with one of their own! You can go the bulk route and pass out trophies as party favors or cute additions to your tablescape, or plan ahead for a customized award that calls out the guest who's best dressed, who predicted the most correct wins or even a "Life of the party" award -- get creative with the superlatives to amp up the fun.
While the pre-show red carpet gets going, rev up the party mood by playing fun movie or music games! Trivia is a great choice for music and movie buffs, so check out some top picks on quiz games guests will love.
